SLEEP WELL!!!

Sleep is defined as a state of unconsciousness from which a person can be aroused. In this state, the brain is relatively more responsive to internal stimuli than external stimuli. Sleep should be distinguished from coma. Coma is an unconscious state from which a person cannot be aroused. Sleep is essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the human body. It is a complicated physiological phenomenon that scientists do not fully understand.

A recent survey found that more people are sleeping less than six hours a night, and sleep difficulties visit 75% of us at least a few nights per week. A short-lived bout of insomnia is generally nothing to worry about. The bigger concern is chronic sleep loss, which can contribute to health problems such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and a decrease in the immune system’s power.

Historically, sleep was thought to be a passive state. However, sleep is now known to be a dynamic process, and our brains are active during sleep. Sleep affects our physical and mental health, and is essential for the normal functioning of all the systems of our body, including the immune system. The effect of sleep on the immune system affects one’s ability to fight disease and endure sickness.

States of brain activity during sleep and wakefulness result from different activating and inhibiting forces that are generated within the brain. Neurotransmitters (chemicals involved in nerve signaling) control whether one is asleep or awake by acting on nerve cells (neurons) in different parts of the brain. Neurons located in the brain stem actively cause sleep by inhibiting other parts of the brain that keep a person awake.



Sleep remedies are a lot but one which suits you will be a problem. Reach Pharmacy stores a variety of sleep remedies which can help you to have good sleep.

NAUSEA AND VOMIT!!!

Nausea and vomiting are not diseases, but rather are symptoms of many different conditions, such as infection ("stomach flu"), food poisoning, motion sickness, overeating, blocked intestine, illness, concussion or brain injury, appendicitis, and migraines. Nausea and vomiting can sometimes be symptoms of more serious diseases such as heart attacks, kidney or liver disorders, central nervous system disorders, brain tumors, and some forms of cancer.Nausea is an uneasiness of the stomach that often accompanies the urge to vomit, but doesn't always lead to vomiting. Vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying ("throwing up") of stomach contents through the mouth. Some triggers that may result in vomiting can come from the stomach and intestines (infection, injury, and food irritation), the inner ear (dizziness and motion sickness), and the brain (head injury, brain infections, tumors, and migraine headaches).

Nausea and vomiting are symptoms which may accompany migraines and headaches in some people. Treating the migraine usually relieves the nausea. However, in some cases, the nausea and vomiting are debilitating or prevent a person from taking their migraine medications. In these cases, a nausea drug may be used to relieve symptoms. Nausea medications may be taken as pills or -- in severe cases -- as rectal suppositories.



Nausea and vomiting can occur in both children and adults. People who are undergoing cancer treatments, such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy, have an increased risk of nausea and vomiting. Pregnant women in their first trimester may also experience nausea and vomiting, commonly referred to as "morning sickness." It is estimated that 50 to 90 percent of pregnant women experience nausea, while 25 to 55 percent experience vomiting.
The timing of the nausea or vomiting can indicate the cause. When it appears shortly after a meal, nausea or vomiting may indicate a mental disorder or a peptic ulcer. Nausea or vomiting one to eight hours after a meal may indicate food poisoning. Food borne diseases, such as Salmonella, may take longer to produce symptoms because of the incubation time. A person who is experiencing nausea should consult a physician if it lasts more than one week, and if there is a possibility of pregnancy. Vomiting usually subsides within 6 to 24 hours, and may be treated at home. You should see your doctor if home treatment is not working, dehydration is present, or a known injury (such as head injury or infection) is causing the vomiting.

Reach Pharmacy provides Buccastem M which effectively relieves nausea and vomiting associated with migraine.In case of urgencies we help you to get your medicines with expert prescription and advices.

PARACETAMOL FOR CHILDREN!!!

Paracetamol is one of the most commonly used ‘over-the-counter’ medicines, especially for the minor illnesses suffered by many children. But often it is not used in the correct dosage, which may make it less effective or dangerous. The main uses of paracetamol are for relief of pain and for reducing a fever. While having a raised temperature isn't always a bad thing, as it can help the body's immunity, it can make the affected person feel very uncomfortable. This is often the case with children and can lead to very disturbed nights for parents, brothers and sisters.

The correct dose of paracetamol for a child does not depend on its age, but its weight. The usual dose is 15 mg per kilogram of weight. In other words if a baby weighs 10 kg it should have 150 mg. This dose can be taken once every 4 hours, up to 4 times per day if needed. You should not exceed the recommended dose except on the advice of your doctor. No child should take a total of more than 90 mg per kilogram in a day.

Most children are given paracetamol in syrup form and it is vital to check the strength of the brand used, because they vary. Problems can also arise because of confusion between the way things are measured. Remember that ‘mg’ is a measure of weight and ‘mL’ is a measure of fluid volume. So if the strength of a bottle of paracetamol syrup is 100 mg/mL then a 10 kg baby needs 1.5 mL. Used properly, paracetamol is a useful medicine for making children more comfortable when they have minor illnesses and pain. Understanding and checking the correct doses is vitally important if parents are to use it safely and effectively.



It is sensible to give paracetamol to reduce the unpleasant symptoms caused by mild acute infections. However, paracetamol does not have a dramatic effect: a recent controlled trial5found that paracetamol caused only a modest improvement in activity and alertness in children with acute infection, and that there was no significant improvement in mood, comfort, appetite or fluid intake. Because many patients with infection have fever and discomfort, it is often assumed that fever causes discomfort but strenuous exercise causes temperatures up to 40oC without causing discomfort.

INSECT REPELLANT!!!

Insect repellents are something which will keep the insects away from your body. Multiple species of flying and crawling insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, flies, midges, chiggers, and fleas, bite people. Although these insects are mostly a nuisance in North America, worldwide they transmit more than 100 bacterial, protozoan, parasitic, and rickettsial diseases to humans. A single bite from an infectious vector is sufficient to transmit disease.

Mosquitoes transmit more diseases to humans than any other biting insect. Mosquitoes are the vectors responsible for transmitting several forms of viral encephalitis, yellow fever, dengue fever, bancroftian filariasis, and epidemic polyarthritis to humans; more than 700,000,000 people are infected yearly. Malaria, which is transmitted by the bite of a mosquito infected with the single-cell protozoan Plasmodium, is responsible for 3,000,000 deaths annually.



Insect repellents can be an effective aid in reducing bites from mosquitos and ticks, which can cause a range of health problems, from itchiness and irritation to potentially serious diseases.Mosquitos can bite at any time during the day, but most species tend to be more active at dawn and dusk. Ticks are often encountered along trail edges, particularly in wooded areas or tall grass. Choose a product that meets your needs. For example, if you plan to be outdoors for a short period of time, choose a product with a lower concentration of repellent, and repeat application only if you need a longer protection time. Use only personal insect repellents that have a Pest Control Product registration number and are labelled as insect repellents for use on humans. Never use a product labelled as an insecticide on your body. DEET is the active ingredient in many insect repellents and bug sprays. Products containing DEET are very safe when used according to the directions. Over the long history of DEET use, very few confirmed incidents of toxic reactions to DEET have occurred when the product is used properly. Picaridin, also known as KBR 3023, and oil of lemon eucalyptus, or p-menthane 3,8-diol, are other EPA-registered insect repellent chemicals. Both are now available in a number of bug sprays and lotions.

BITES AND STINGS!!!

Insect bites or stings can be from a number of insects including bees, spiders, fleas, hornets, wasps, and mosquitoes. Some cause itching; others cause pain. The itching and pain occur because the insect has injected venom or another irritating substance into your skin, which causes an allergic reaction. In most cases, this reaction is bothersome but not dangerous. However, a severe reaction can cause anaphylaxis, resulting in shortness of breath and tightening of your throat. Anaphylaxis can be fatal, even on the first reaction. Severe reactions can affect the whole body and may occur in minutes. Most insect bites are harmless, though they feel unpleasant. Bee, wasp, and hornet stings and fire ant bites usually hurt. Mosquito, flea and mite bites usually itch. Insects can also transmit diseases, such as yellow fever and malaria.Another type of allergic reaction is called angioedema, which involves swelling throughout your body, especially the face, lips, and around the eyes. More people have allergic reactions to stinging insects than to biting insects.

Following are the symptoms:

  • Red, swollen, warm lump
  • Hives
  • Itching, tenderness, pain
  • Sores from scratching; can become infected
  • Serious allergic reactions (called anaphylaxis) when symptoms spread.


These can include difficulty breathing, dizziness, nausea, fever, muscle spasms, or loss of consciousness. Call for emergency medical help right away.

Insect bites and stings can become infected with bacteria. If this happens, instead of clearing up after a few days, the area around the bite or sting becomes more red and sore, and pus may build up inside. Infected bites or stings may make you feel unwell with flu-like symptoms and swollen glands.



You may also notice a red line coming from the bite and going towards your armpit or groin. This is caused by inflammation in your lymphatic system and is known as tracking. The lymphatic system is the tissues and organs, including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lymph nodes, that produce and store cells that fight infection and disease. The channels that carry lymph are also part of this system.

Redness, minor swelling, pain, or itching at the site of the bite generally go away in 3 - 7 days with no treatment, even if the affected area is large.

Reach Pharmacy can help you with a variety of products to help you out of bites and stings in a single click such as Anthisan bite and sting cream, Anthisan Creams, Itch-Gone Insect/Mosquito Bite Relief, Safe + Sound styptic pencil, Wasp-eze spray for all stings etc...We will be with you in case of emergencies, just a call away!!!
